To set up a View desktop deployment or standalone computers with View Persona Management, you must perform several high-level tasks.

This sequence is recommended, although you can perform these tasks in a different sequence. For example, you can configure or reconfigure group policy settings in Active Directory after you deploy desktop pools.

1

Configure a remote repository to store user profiles.

You can configure a network share or use an existing Active Directory user profile path that you configured for Windows roaming profiles.

2

Install View Agent with the View Persona Management setup option on the virtual machines that you use to create desktop pools.
